Manual harvesting, sorting; clusters are directly put in the press by gravity. Very careful pressure is applied with a meticulous selection of the juice at the end of the wine press. Fermentation is carried out without any intervention, and without control of the temperatures. Fermentation stops by itself, in 2008 it was 1.5 months. Ageing is done “en cuve” during 9 months. Age of vines: 20 years old. Yield: 20 hl/ha.

 

The nose opens with crushed fresh prunes, the honey of white flowers, then toward the botrytis, with a touch of fresh almond and pine resin. In the mouth it is supple and fresh, with a mellowness that frays toward notes of pear and, at the final, notes of refreshing and citrus. Can be drunk as an aperitif or at the table with paté, and cheeses such as “fourme d'Ambert” and the “Bleu d'Auvergne” accompanied with fine strips of pear.

Maturity: Now-2028.
